“Ocean’s 8” has released its first official trailer for the women-centric heist comedy.
Sandra Bullock stars as Debbie Ocean, Danny Ocean’s sister, who brings together a group of female thieves to pull off stealing a necklace from the Met Gala.
The trailer gives a peak at the roles each of the eight will play in the ultimate heist. Cate Blanchett stars as Ocean’s right-hand woman, Mindy Kaling plays a faux jewelery designer, Rihanna is a computer hacker, Helena Bonham Carter is a frantic fashion designer, Awkwafina is a pickpocket and Sarah Paulson is a suburban mom who seems to have a sketchy past.
Dakota Fanning, Matt Damon, Anna Wintour, Kim Kardashian West, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Olivia Munn, Katie Holmes, Zayn Malik, Zac Posen, Adriana Lima and Serena Williams will have cameos.
